Level 2 Mathematics & Statistics

The Year 12 Mathematics course covers Level 7 of the Mathematics and Statistics in the New Zealand Curriculum document. As a Year 12 student you will be studying towards NCEA Level 2. The aim of this course is to provide a firm basis for any mathematical work undertaken in Year 13 and tertiary levels and also to encourage the development of mathematical processes.

Students will complete Achievement Standards in Trigonometry, Graphs, Probability and Statistics.  Students will develop their ability to think logically, apply skills, work with basic Algebra in a variety of contexts, including Graphing, and expand their knowledge of Trigonometry.  

In addition, this course supports students’ understanding of mathematics and builds on your knowledge using the statistical inquiry cycle.  Students will also be introduced to the Probability concepts that will help them to prepare for Level 3 Statistics course. Students will be taught all the skills necessary to achieve each standard, as well as how to put these skills into context and extend their thinking to be able to achieve at Merit and Excellence levels.

This is a course which leads to Level 3 Statistics course (13STAT).  This course is designed for students who want a pathway into 13STAT but find Algebra challenging. 

A graphics calculator is essential for this course.

The standards offered in this course may be altered at the discretion of the Head of Department.
